GIS-Pro 2012 IGNITE

Lots of discussions between presentations.

Following a productive day of workshops, NW GIS courses, speed networking, and Esri's annual USER Group meeting, we took part in another entertaining and educational IGNITE session at GIS-Pro! Thanks to Hilary Perkins, Keri Brennan and Carl Anderson for keeping things in order!
